"The Purge" scarezone will be located in the New York back lot of the park and will feature characters inspired by the new film, a sequel to last summer's horror thriller starring Ethan Hawke.

The films take place in the future when the government has issued an annual 12-hour purge to ensure that crime rates stay below one percent for the rest of the year. All emergency services are suspended and all crime is legal for those 12 hours, without punishment or fear of retribution.

"The Purge: Anarchy" moves the story from a suburban neighborhood to the streets as a group of five citizens try to survive the night.

"The chaos that reigns in the film will be replicated nightly, but now our guests can actually attempt to survive the night themselves," Michael Aiello, director of entertainment – creative development for Universal Orlando Resort, said in a release.

It's back. Or will be. "The Walking Dead" again will be featured prominently at this year's Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. It will be the third consecutive year that the zombie-driven TV show will be in the spotlight at the event.
